Ghanaians are reacting to a confession by veteran actress Grace Omaboe alias Maame Dokono that she dated her colleague and Agoro TV show host David Dontoh for four years.

The former By The Fireside host, 72, told Bola Ray on Starr FM Wednesday that she dated Mr Dontoh, 54, because she needed a partner to help ward off the many men that were chasing her with love proposals.

“David Dontoh held me together and handled me well. At that time I was popular, beautiful and many, different men were all over me when I am on stage, so I needed someone to hold me,” she said.

Many Ghanaians have taken to micro-blog Twitter to express their surprise about the revelation made by the veteran actress given the 18-year difference between the pair.

One user with the handle @Obiba_Nana said : “So as David Dontoh dey do "Agor) ooo" all this while then he was dating Maame Dokono. Smart guy”.

“Date people who can make your trend like Maame Dokono in the near future!,” Another twitter user, @AfroBlaqAfrica stated.
